Sanctuary is a re-mixable science fiction film. In 2005, it became the first production to sign professional union actors to Creative Commons licensing terms. It is a superhero origin story set in Head Bin, a fictional universe created by MOD Films for their re-mixable movie experiment. “Sanctuary” is also a pilot for a multi-player feature film and an open interactive story format, the RIG, being developed by MOD Films in London.
The film was completed in 2009. Most production assets, including principal photography shot on 35mm film and digitized, have been cleared for free-for-non-commercial use.
